The 2012 plant sale was a huge success!!! I planted up over 1000 pots of plants and sold every one! I was able to give “Be the Match” charity $3,394. Can you believe that much money was just sitting in my garden! At first I really had no idea how this sale would go. I was worried that nobody would come, or I wouldn’t have enough plants. It all turned out better than I could have imagined.
I plan to take next year off, as I have a high school graduation party to host, but the following year, in 2014, I will divide my hostas, and other shade plants and have another sale for this charity. PLUS, I am hoping in 2014 the plant sale will be a cooperative effort, and other gardening folks will donate a few plants from their gardens, or perhaps start some vegetables or annuals from seed and donate them to the sale. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE THE 2014 PLANT SALE ANOTHER HUGE SUCCESS!
If you might be that person who can help, get in contact with me before 2014!
THANK YOU all so much for your support!

I unfortunately didn’t take any pictures of the 2012 plant sale. I guess I was too busy! But my husband did catch this photo of me a few weeks earlier. I was putting back small portions of each plant that I had divided from the garden for the plant sale. I planted the 180 pots in 4 hours! I wanted to be done before the T.V. show “Dancing with the Stars.” I achieved my goal 🙂
